These eight simple massage techniques of traditional Chinese medicine stimulate acupuncture channels and points which are associated with your internal organs. Not only does massage help to relieve external problems, but it can also assist with your internal organ and emotional balance.

1. Rub your hands
Rub your hands with palms together, slowly and firmly for ten times. Then interlock your fingers together and squeeze together three times firmly.

2. Rub your foreheadBend your two index fingers so that they are a hook, with medium pressure rub from the middle of your forehead slowly outwards to the temples. You can also rub over your eyebrows. Repeat five times.

3. Squeeze your earsSqueeze your ear between your thumb and index finger, with medium pressure, from the top of the ear to the bottom of the ear lobe. Repeat five times. Please remove any ear rings before massaging the ears.

If you can perform just a few of these massage techniques each week, you will experience long-term benefits throughout your life.
